Get a free Xbox Series S with these bonkers EE Black Friday phone deals

EE’s Black Friday phone deals event is now on, and there’s a free Xbox up for grabs

In EE’s Black Friday deals period, the company is offering possibly the best free gift we’ve seen so far. Buy a contract on one of a selection of smartphones from EE – including the Google Pixel 6 – and you’ll net yourself an Xbox Series S console absolutely free.

To reiterate, that’s a brand-new next-gen games console worth £250 to go with your equally new smartphone. If you were looking for a new phone this Black Friday and you like the idea of free stuff (who doesn’t?), we’re confident that this offer from EE is the best we’ve seen so far this Black Friday.

The offer applies to the following selection of top-notch handsets:

1. Google Pixel 6

Our new favourite Android smartphone marks a huge leap forwards for Google. In our glowing Pixel 6 review, we praised its excellent camera and impressive Tensor chipset, noting additionally that this is one seriously good-value smartphone. If you want a more advanced phone and don’t mind spending a bit more, this contract from EE is the best we’ve found that also nets you the console.

Price: From £45/mth, £30 up front; Data: From 10GB; Lifetime cost: From £1,110

2. Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G

Identical in almost every way to the excellent (and inexpensive) Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, the A52s has a newer Snapdragon chip inside but retains the same quad rear cameras, large 4,500mAh battery and 120Hz Super AMOLED display.

Price: From £35/mth, £30 up front; Data: From 10GB; Lifetime cost: From £870

3. Oppo Find X3 Lite

The cheaper, smaller partner to the Oppo Find X3 Pro that we reviewed so favourably still packs an impressive 64MP rear snapper plus 128GB of onboard storage and a lovely OLED screen. The perfect value alternative to the Pixel 6.

Price: From £35/mth, £30 up front; Data: From 10GB; Lifetime cost: From £870

4. Oppo A94 5G

The Oppo A94 5G joined a formidable lineup of budget Oppo smartphones this year. With a 6.4in AMOLED display, four rear cameras – including a 48MP primary lens – and even a microSD slot (a rarity these days), it’s one seriously competitive phone.

Price: From £33/mth, £30 up front; Data: From 10GB; Lifetime cost: From £822

Buy now from EE


5. Oppo A54 5G

Like the A94, the Oppo A54 5G is a budget handset that offers spectacular bang for your buck. A 5,000mAh battery will keep the 6.5in LCD display on for longer than most, while a triple rear camera will produce some decent snaps for the price.

Price: From £29/mth, £30 up front; Data: From 10GB; Lifetime cost: From £726
